1. MOTIVATION
Electronic structure is the key quantity to materials properties and related phenomena:Mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical,... .
Conventional ab initio / first-principles type methods• suffer from laborious description of electron–
electron correlations (CI, MCHF, DFT-funtionals)• typically ignore nuclear (quantum) dynamics and
coupling of electron–nuclei dynamics (Born–Oppenheimer approximation)
• give the zero-Kelvin description, only. So, how about the effects from finite temperature?

2. PATH-INTEGRAL APPROACH TO QUANTUM MECHANICS
2.1. CLASSICAL PATH
Let us consider particle dynamics from a to b.Lagrangian formulation of classical mechanics for finding the path/trajectory leads to equations of motion from minimization (extremum) of action
where the Lagrangian L = T–V.

2.2. QUANTUM PATH
Usually, the most probable quantum path is the classical one, but other paths contribute, too, with a certain probability. Quantum probability of the particle propagation is P(b,a) = |K(b,a)|2 ,the absolute square of the probability amplitude K.The probability amplitude is the sum over all oscillating phase factors of the paths xab as
where the phase is proportional to the action

2.3. PATH-INTEGRAL
Now, let us define the sum over all paths as a path-integral
We call this ”kernel” or ”propagator” or ”Green’s function”.For example, the free-particle propagator takes the form
This kernel satisfies the free-particle Schrödinger equation in space {xb,tb}.

3.1. THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM, NVT ENSEMBLE
Let us consider thermal equilibrium in NVT ensemble, where we have the Boltzmann distribution exp(–E/kT) of the system total energy E. In the occupied density-of-states, note possible degeneracy.Normalization of Boltzmann probability
is done with the partition function
Alternatively, normalization can be done with the Helmholtz free energy

3.3. DENSITY MATRIX
Considering all states of the particle, probability p(x) of finding the particle/system in configuration space at x, we have
Now, define the mixed state density matrix (in position presentation)
(Or more generally for operators ) Thus, we find
and normalization implies

obtain ρ(b,a) for which Cf.

4. MONTE CARLO SAMPLING OFIMAGINARY TIME PATHS
For the density operator we can write
if the kinetic and potential energies in the hamiltonian H = T + Vcommute. This becomes exact at the limit of imaginary time period goes to zero, the high temperature limit, because the potential energy approaches constant in position representation.Thus, we can write
where and M is called the Trotter number.This allows numerical sampling of the imaginary time paths with a Monte Carlo method.
